CBRE Asia Pacific (Employer)

CBRE Asia Pacific
CBRE Group is the world's largest commercial real estate service provider. Being part of the CBRE Asia Pacific's regional Digital Marketing team, I provided and consulted on digital solutions building advantage for CBRE's employees and clients.

During my tenure I was responsible for execution and delivery of our regional corporate website migration project, oversaw part of CBRE's global intranet upgrade and was responsible for the creation of landing pages and themed websites promoting CBRE Asia Pacific Research and International Property Marketing projects.
Website Migration
When I first joined in 2014, each one of CBRE's corporate website ran on it's own CMS; mostly SharePoint 2010. My first migration project was the CBRE Taiwan corporate website. I oversaw and executed the platform upgrade from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 and trained on-site staff to maintain the website. 

In 2016 CBRE decided to unify and modernize all corporate websites onto a single platform: Sitecore. For the Asia Pacific region, I was responsible for the migration and delivery of 9 multi-lingual websites from SharePoint 2010 to Sitecore using Telerik Kendo UI. I was responsible for location specific development and design implementations for the Australia and New Zealand websites. In addition to technical and visual upgrades, we worked together with local industry experts to optimize the website's content.

Landing Pages & Themed Websites
Besides platform work, I was also responsible for the creation of landing pages and themed websites promoting CBRE's Research and International Property Marketing. Working together with CBRE APAC's Regional Creative Director (Joel Savitzky, at the time), we evolved CBRE's landing page creation process, setting a new standard for the company globally. On occasion, I would also create themed websites for internal use, highlighting a project or a department.

Intranet
Much like CBRE's corporate websites, its intranet was highly fragmented. In 2016 a global initiative was launched, unifying the companies intranet sites onto a single platform built on SharePoint 2013, using Bootstrap for the front-end. Besides coordinating the intranet migration and upgrade with stakeholders across the region, I oversaw CBRE Japan's intranet upgrade, reviewing and unifying 2 internal intranet platforms.
